A conversation with Lauren Teffeau, author of the recently-released near-future science fiction novel "Implanted." Topics covered include digital convergence, neural implant technology, online privacy, climate change, the law of digital recency, and the future of capitalism. Includes an excerpt from "Implanted," and occasional interjections by my attention-seeking cats.Fractopia Website:http://ThisIsFractopia.comHelp Support the Fractopia Project:https://patreon.com/fractopiaSOURCES AND LINKSLauren Teffeauhttps://laurencteffeau.com/Implantedby Lauren Teffeau, published by Angry Robothttps://www.angryrobotbooks.com/shop/sf/implanted/Implanted - at Amazonhttps://www.amazon.com/Implanted-Lauren-C-Teffeau/dp/085766799821 Lessons for the 21st Centuryby Yuval Noah Harari, published by Jonathan Capehttp://www.ynharari.com/book/21-lessons/Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative?by Mark Fisher, published by Zero Bookshttp://www.zero-books.net/books/capitalist-realismNew York 2140by Kim Stanley Robinson, published by Orbithttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/031626234X/Zero Bookshttp://www.zero-books.net/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyoQK-mZXr2ws4C0nXGCH1wMUSICTheme from "Ghosts in the Machine" by Tod Foley
